I've searched around, but wanted a confirmation if there was a way to do this for specific contacts. I know you can set custom ringtones for Phone calls and Email messages, but I haven't found a way to do this on my phone yet.
When I had a curve, there was a workaround, but for whatever reason, Blackberry removed that feature.
It really bothers me that Blackberry can't get this portion of their OS usable. From a business standpoint, it would make sense to have different alerting capabilities from different hierarchy's (for normal, urgent, etc).
I have custom ringtones on my Tour. I just went into my contacts, hit the blackberry button on the contact I wanted to edit, clicked on Edit, then scrolled down to Custom Ring Tones/alerts and then to the phone option. That should do it! Hope this helps
Ahh - no wonder why. I'm receiving SMS from Emails (for work) and I need to put the email in the Mobile section of the contact. That solved my problem. Thanks!
